VISION BeanStore for Self Checkout allows retailers to install a self checkout PoS without modifying their existing software solution, let alone move to an entirely new system. Simple integration with existing applications means that it is easy to make established PoS functionality available to self-service terminals.
VISION BeanStore's Retail Transaction Interface facilitates the exchange of data between the self checkout application controlling the specific processes and BeanStore. This means that the item and price file are the same, so there are no data integrity issues. The software is the same, just configured differently. Therefore, the discounts, promotions and loyalty reward scheme are the same on all registers regardless of the devices being manned by sales operators or self service checkouts.
Card Payment & Security
With the advent of tighter security around payment applications in store, BeanStore uses a separate secure payment module for the handling of all card transactions and links to acquirers and banks. Card security is also a concern with self checkout solutions, but because BeanStore uses the same application for regular registers and self checkout devices, the same secure card payment module is also used.
